future of global warming?

Question

they say ice age but i thought its gettin hotter?

so in the future will be hella hot or cold as ice

Answer 1

Both depending on when in the future you are talking about.

We are coming out of an ice age so it only makes sense that the planet is warming up. Will it continue? Maybe. Will it get bad? Maybe.

Earth will cool down again, eventually. Global warming and cooling are natural cycles that have been happening for the last 4.55 billion years.

Answer 2

There is evidence coming out that the real cause of global warming and cooling depend on solar activity. Which makes sense, since that's why the planet isn't a frozen wasteland in the first place.

Sunspots are regions of the sun that undergo very high activity, shooting off a large amount of heat in comparison to the rest of the sun. In history, an increase in the average number of sunspots every year correlated into warmer temperatures.

So, if you find information on sunspots you will be able to tell if in the future the planet is going to increase or decrease.

If you watch al gores an inconvenient truth again; the part where he shows the two graphs of the planets CO2 levels and global temperatures you will notice that CO2 levels actually lag behind the change in temperature of the planet.

Clearly co2 emissions cannot be the cause of the change in the planets temperature because how does co2 raise the planets temperature AFTER the planet's temperature rises?

Another reason why global warming may be one big scam (at least from a human perspective) is because it is beneficial for countries like england to spend a lot of money on researchers who claim humans are causing global warmining -- because then it increases research and development of non-fossil fuel technology. The benefits to this for a country like england is that they don't have much oil in england, so they are reliant on countries in the middle east -- which means they NEED these countries to survive. Politicially and economically, this is dangerous.

Anyway, we'll see what happens. But, I wouldn't worry too much.

Answer 3

Hotter globally. There may be some local cooling (because of disruption of ocean currents by melting ice) but it won't be an ice age.

Below is an interesting argument which actually proves THIS warming is mostly caused by us.

"Clearly co2 emissions cannot be the cause of the change in the planets temperature because how does co2 raise the planets temperature AFTER the planet's temperature rises?"

Here's how. CO2 acts in TWO WAYS. It can cause global warming, by the "greenhouse effect", and it is an effect of warming because CO2 is released from oceans as they warm. Really basic science.

In the past warming started for other reasons (probably the Sun) and CO2 followed hundreds of years later, as it was released from warming oceans.

But this time THERE IS NO LAG. CO2 and temperature are going up together because this time the warming is mostly caused by CO2.

The "it's sunspots" people only show the data until about 1980. That's when sunspots started to go down while temperature was going up. Oops. More here:

Answer 4

global warming is responsible for climate change...

for example in summer, we experience very hot weather. on the other hand, every winter, we experience very cold weather..but like what i've seen in news, in australia now is summer but they experience a hail storm, size of a tennis ball and golf ball..
the tsunami that affects most of asian country..the super typhoons/hurricane. landslides in most of high places that had cover several towns.. all of this roots from global warming..

until now, we never know what's really gonna happen in the future but we should do something to prevent it.
